The fastest Pokémon Go Map available.

PoGoMap

The no-bloat version of PokemonGo-Map (their rewrite is actually an early-stage fork of this project).

Heavily using pgoapi.

##Installation and usage:

On Linux, for Debian-based distributions, you should install pycurl's dependencies before installing the project's requirements:

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev python-dev

Edit pogom/__init__.py and enter your GMaps Key.

pip install -r requirements.txt
python runserver.py -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -l LOCATION -r SEARCHRADIUS -c

The -c flag switches to pycurl (python wrapper around the libcurl library) as downloader. This is so performant that the parsing and DB stuff becomes the bottleneck.

##Features

• Extremely fast (scans a 5km search radius in 1m30s with the -c flag)
• Perfect coverage (using a perfect hexagonal grid of radius 100m)
• No Bloat (we tried to keep this as lightweight as possible, therefore you won't see as many flags in the help file)
• Hide common Pokemon
• Server status in the Web-GUI
• Stats about seen Pokemon
• Proper handling of server downtime (using exponential backoff strategy)
• Mobile friendly
• Show/Hide Pokestops
• Notifications

##TODO

• Move processing of responses (protobuf parsing & save to DB) to seperate process
• Use different (faster) library for protobuf parsing
• Web-GUI for all configuration settings
• Heatmaps!
